Reception
The New York Clipper's review was mixed, the reviewer found the cinematography and detail to be excellent but found the story to be strained. Elaborating, the reviewer said "the overtax on its sympathy and the long strain of worry imposed upon it by multiplied acts of villainy in the picture, will outbalance the interest the film excites."[2]
